- N00164-03-R-6615 - Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for Technology Improvements in Communication Signal Collection, Evaluation, Analysis, Integration, and/or Interpretation --Technology Improvement ? FSG 58 ? NAICS 334220 Issue Date: 28 March 2003 ? Closing Date: 30 September 2003 Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (NSWC Crane) is interested in receiving innovative proposals for improvements in the collection, evaluation, analysis, integration, interpretation, exploitation, and/or attack of all types of communication signals. The proposals can be based on improvements to existing products, techniques and/or processes or the development of innovative products, techniques and/or processes to advance this area of interest. The proposals must focus on innovative products, techniques, and/or processes that are easily transportable. This notice constitutes a Broad A gency Announcement (BAA) as contemplated in FAR 6.102(d)(2). It is intended that this BAA be open for a period of six months from the date of publication. NSWC Crane encourages participation by small business, small disadvantaged business, Hub-zone small business, woman-owned small business, and veteran-owned small business concerns. Typically each proposal selected may be: (1) funded for periods up to two years subject to the availability of appropriations; (2) funded between $20,000 to $750,000, with the size of each dependent upon the topic (although NSWC Crane reserves the right to entertain larger proposals based on the availability of funds); (3) more than one effort may be funded for an individual topic area; (4) NSWC Crane is not interested in concepts that already have been developed or proven (even if they never have been sold before); (5) NSWC Crane seeks proposal s for scientific study and experimentation directed toward advancing the state-of-the-art or increasing knowledge or understanding; and (6) deliverables should demonstrate the results of scientific study and experimentation. Proposals for non-innovative, marginal improvements are inappropriate under BAA authority and would not be considered for funding. In order to minimize the cost regarding proposal preparation, as a preliminary step, interested parties are strongly encouraged to submit an initial synopsis (commonly referred to as "white paper"). This white paper should not exceed 10 pages, with a technical description of the effort, a preliminary schedule, identification of risks, and a rough cost estimate. Offerors should submit the white papers electronically. The white paper must be accompanied by a title, BAA number, offeror name, project duration, approximate cost, and a brief abstract with information explicitly pertinent to the proposed work. The Government reserves the right to request a proposal from any, all, part of, or none of the offerors submitting white papers. Offerors submitting the most promising white papers will be encouraged to submit full technical and cost proposals on all or part of their white paper submission. However, any such encouragement does not assure a subsequent award. Offerors may submit full technical and cost proposals even if they did not submit a white paper or their white paper was not identified as promising. The Government will acknowledge the receipt of white papers and full technical and cost proposals by e-mail. White papers (and proposals) will be evaluated using the following evaluation criteria: (1) Overall scientific, technical, and socio-economic merits of the proposed effort; (2) Potential relevance and contributions to the area of interest; (3) Degree to which new and creative solutions to technical issues important to the area of interest are proposed as well as the degree to which technical data and/or computer software developed under the proposed effort are to be delivered with unrestricted (Government Purpose) rights; (4) The offeror's capabilities, related experience, facilities, techniques or unique combinations of these which are integral factors for achieving the proposal objectives; (5) The qualifications, capabilities and experience of the proposed Principal Investigator, team leader or other key personnel who are critical in achieving the proposal objectives; and (6) realism of the proposed costs and the availability of funds. These criteria are listed in descending order of importance, and the non-price factors, when taken together, are significant ly more important than price. Based on evaluation of the white papers, participants may be selected and invited to submit full technical and cost proposals for evaluation by NSWC Crane using the above noted evaluation criteria. An invitation to submit a full proposal does not guarantee funding. THE GOVERNMENT RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SELECT FOR FUNDING ANY, ALL, PART, OR NONE OF THE RESPONSES RECEIVED. Any responsible businesses may submit a proposal. White papers may be submitted any time prior to expiration of the BAA. Please send white papers and proposals via e-mail to wathen_m@crane.navy.mil mail or regular mail to Commander, ATTN: Ms. Mary Ann Wathen, Code 1164, Building 64, 300 Highway 361, Crane, IN 47522-5011. Please refer to BAA number N00164-03-R-6615 in all correspondence and communications.
